applicants and licensees, who
previously used a myriad of forms for
various wireless services and types of
requests, in order to provide the
Commission information that has been
collected in separate databases, each for
a different group of services. Such
processes have resulted in unreliable
reporting, duplicate filings for the same
licensees/applicants, and higher cost
burdens to licensees/applicants. By
streamlining the Universal Licensing
System (ULS), the Commission
eliminates the filing of duplicative
applications for wireless carriers;
increases the accuracy and reliability of
licensing information; and enables all
wireless applicants and licensees to file
all licensing-related applications and
other filings electronically, thus
increasing the speed and efficiency of
the application process. The ULS also
benefits wireless applicants/licensees by
reducing the cost of preparing
applications, and speeds up the
licensing process in that the
Commission can introduce new entrants
more quickly into this already
competitive industry. Finally, ULS
enhances the availability of licensing
information to the public, which has
access to all publicly available wireless
licensing information on-line, including
maps depicting a licensee’s geographic
service area.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The FCC is not requesting that

confidential treatment of such

the FCC’s rules, 47 CFR 0.459. The FCC
has a system of records, FCC/OMD–25,
Financial Operations Information

purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and
disposal of the personally identifiable
information (PII) that individual
respondents may submit on FCC Form

www.fcc.gov/general/privacy-actinformation#systems.
Needs and Uses: After respondents
have registered in CORES and have been

update and/or change their contact
information, including name, address,
telephone number, email address(es),
fax number, contact representative,
contact representative’s address,
telephone number, email address, and/
or fax number. Respondents may also
update their registration information in

cores. The Commission uses this
information to collect or report on any
delinquent debt arising from the
respondent’s business dealings with the
FCC, including both ‘‘feeable’’ and
‘‘nonfeeable’’ services; and to ensure
that registrants (respondents) receive
any refunds due. Use of the CORES
System is also a means of ensuring that
the Commission operates in compliance
with the Debt Collection Improvement
Act of 1996.
